[QUOTE="Bluebell, post: 8511783, member: 7034545"] Some thoughts that jump to mind: Relations with other races - How does this race fit into the rest of the world in relation to the other existing races? Are they friendly, hostile? Do they keep to themselves or are they integrated into diverse settlements? Is it rare to see them wandering around away from home or are they pretty common in certain areas? Are they viewed as strange by others? Do they have unique traits that make them stand out? Importance to the story - What do they bring to the narrative? Are there key NPCs from that race to represent their people? Do they have goals that would align/clash with the PCs? Culture - What is unique about them besides physiology? Are they from a particular climate? Do they have unique architecture or lifestyle? Do they view family units differently or have a particular philosophy? Do they have a unique governance structure? I think how you play it depends on, for instance, whether you want your race to be integrated into the setting from the start, or if your PCs are traveling to a new location where this new race lives.
